Abstract
- The authors encourage the use of digital health technologies to promote adherence to tuberculosis treatment. Topics discussed include the nonadherence risk posed by the duration and complexity of the multi-drug regimen adopted for the treatment of drug-sensitive tuberculosis, advantages of the 99DOTS mobile phone-based digital health technology for remote monitoring of medication intake, and the clinical monitoring potential of directly observed therapy by video recording services.
